I haven't had much luck with seperate tracks, so if it played almost all that are in the folder, it would solve that problem. I also love the idea of expanding to other instruments, so it helps that also. As far as tracks to not play, I think we should come up with a system for the file names. It could be mute-(filename).ogg. So mute-crowd.ogg would not be played the whole time, only when it is asked for. That would make things not compatible with current tracks, so maybe a mix of the two systems should be in order. I think this is a great idea.

Last 7 days Dec 26, 2009 issue 1126 (Foolproof forward compatibility for multi-track songs) reported by john.stumpo - In case we add support for more separated tracks in the future, I think we ought to play all unrecognized oggs in the song folder as part of the background track (song.ogg) so things are future-proof. To make this completely bulletproof, we can add some sort of condition on the filename that causes it to be ignored (think of preview.ogg, crowd.ogg, or song+crowd.ogg - obviously anything similar that we might add in the future should not be unconditionally played along with the song in versions that don't know how to deal with it properly; since current versions by definition already know how to deal with all such tracks that have been defined so far, all that remains is to come up with the naming rule for future such tracks). If we do this, fretters with access to separated tracks can separate a track that we have newly added support for without having to worry about backward compatibility with versions later than when this is implemented; some such fretters might even speculatively leave things separated when it makes sense that we might implement support for some separated track in the future.

Dec 24, 2009 issue 664 (Implement online play) commented on by joshuaklar24 - Meh, they say above that the devs are more interested in performance (which is great) and other stuff (fine and well) than online, as those affect gameplay more. Sure, there are like 16 stars on this, but the devs are busy and will get around to it when they have time. I wouldn't count on it being in 4.0 if they are gonna release it in Feb/Mar, but if they release closer to May/June (put in a 3.122 before so people don't think development is at a hult) maybe we could have a basic online play, like JUST a lobby and have CO-OP gameplay until leaderboards, servers and whatnot could be implemented. Just my 2c. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!

I have the SFX volume set to 0/10 in Audio Options. When I start FoFiX, the sound will still play when I select any option on the title. (using Megalight) if I select Start Game, it will play a noise. Then, when I select Quickplay/Career, it won't (recognizing I have the SFX at 0). If I go back to the main menu, it won't play the noise again. If I went straight into options when starting FoFiX, it will play noises for every selection I make. It will only recognize that I have SFX at 0/10 when I start quickplay/career. (also works with multiplayer etc. Any submenu selection). This is a very minor issue, obviously.

issue 1126 (Foolproof forward compatibility for multi-track songs) reported by john.stumpo - In case we add support for more separated tracks in the future, I think we ought to play all unrecognized oggs in the song folder as part of the background track (song.ogg) so things are future-proof. To make this completely bulletproof, we can add some sort of condition on the filename that causes it to be ignored (think of preview.ogg, crowd.ogg, or song+crowd.ogg - obviously anything similar that we might add in the future should not be unconditionally played along with the song in versions that don't know how to deal with it properly; since current versions by definition already know how to deal with all such tracks that have been defined so far, all that remains is to come up with the naming rule for future such tracks). If we do this, fretters with access to separated tracks can separate a track that we have newly added support for without having to worry about backward compatibility with versions later than when this is implemented; some such fretters might even speculatively leave things separated when it makes sense that we might implement support for some separated track in the future.
